Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual: Ensuring proper assembly temperature for tyres
Caution
| Risk of damage to tyres due to excessive heat. |
| Never heat tyres with a radiator or hot air blower. |
| Heat tyres with warm water or warm air (max. 50°C). |
|
| The ideal assembly temperature for a tyre is between 15°C
and 30°C in the interior of the tyre. The surface temperature of
the tyre during the warming up phase is no indication of its
internal temperature. |
| – |
One day before assembly, store cold tyres on an isolated
surface like a palette, for example. Store the tyres separately
so that they adapt quickly to the ambient temperature. |
| Required time for heating in urgent cases |
| Tyres with an internal temperature above 0°C: at least 2 h
at above 19°C |
| Tyres with an internal temperature below 0°C: at least 2.5 h
at above 19°C |
| – |
Occasionally, dry off condensate water with a cloth. |

Only trained personnel may perform any assembly work on
run-flat tyres and ultra-high-performance tyres.
